Fuel problem i have a 1987 ford-150 went to start truck today and it started but the engine was racing to high could not get the engine to idle down so i tried to shut it off by turning the ignition key to off when i did the motor still kept running it actually died after 5 minutes of runnning by flooding it self out i disconnted the battery cables so nothing else would happen..i must say i recently had the ignition module and starter solenoid changed because it was shutting down and then after a few minutes it would fire back up my machanic fixed this..could it be that the distributor was bumped to a way to make engine run to rich or is my timing off my distributor cap and rotor and ignition coil are fine.this is a straight 6 engine in it and only has 71,000 on motor.

You probably need a tune up or timing might have been changed which would alter the rpms. Replacing the module can erquire moving the distridutor and it may not have been returned to the same position. I have experienced same problem.
